FRISCO, Texas – Early offense from No. 11-ranked Texas A&M left the Cal baseball team chasing a deficit and the Bears could never recover as they dropped a 9-5 decision to the Aggies in the final game of three at the Frisco Classic at Dr. Pepper Ballpark.
 
Playing under ominous gray skies on its last day in Frisco, Cal (6-4) jumped out to another early lead thanks to more offensive theatrics from reigning Pac-12 Player of the Week Jonah Davis. Already the owner of an opposite field home run during the trip to Texas, Davis launched another big fly, this time to left-center, to put the Bears ahead 2-0 in the second inning.
 
Texas A&M had its response ready, scoring three runs in the bottom of the second on a two-run single by Chris Andritsos and an RBI single by George Janca. The Aggies added two runs in the third, two more in the fourth and held a 7-2 lead by the midway point of the game.
 
Cal couldn't find an offensive rhythm after Davis' home run as Texas A&M starter Mitchell Kilkenny worked seven strong to earn the win for the Aggies. Quality late relief helped keep the Bears in the game as Arman Sabouri pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings and all-tournament selection Tanner Dodson struck out the side in his first inning before the Texas A&M finished its coring off with two runs (one earned) in the eighth.
 
Freshman Sam Wezniak provided the final offensive blow of the day for the Bears, belting a three-run home run in the top of the ninth inning Davis finished a tremendous weekend in Texas with another good game at the plate, going 2 for 4 with a run and two RBI. He ended the weekend 6 for 11 with two home runs, a double, three walks, four runs scored and five RBI and was named to the all-tournament team. Ripken Reyes and Tyrus Greene also had two hits apiece on Sunday.
 
Cal will be back in action on Tuesday when the Bears host Xavier at 7:05 p.m. The homestand continues over the weekend when Brown visits for a four-game series at Evans Diamond. Friday's contest will begin at 7:05, Saturday's doubleheader Is set for a 2:05 p.m. start and the Sunday finale is scheduled for 1:05 p.m.
